Legend: Limited Edition Blu-ray Review
Legend is an odd film compared with others directed by Ridley Scott and while the characters are thin and underdeveloped, this is almost compensated with great production design and the make-up and prosthetics are all well done.
Clarice: Season One DVD Review
Clarice: Season One is a quasi-sequel series from the 1991 feature film adaptation hit starring Rebecca Breeds and is available on DVD from CBS/Paramount.
One Dark Night: MVD Rewind Collection Blu-ray Review
One Dark Night isn’t a great movie but as supernatural-horror goes, which I’m generally not a big fan of, it’s fairly entertaining and features some impressive make-up effects and a solid finale.

Space Jam: A New Legacy 4K Ultra HD Review
Space Jam: A New Legacy isn’t all that good but to be perfectly fair, neither was the 1995 original, though 14/15 year old me probably loved it (don’t have much memory, must’ve been a short-lived love).

Night of the Animated Dead Blu-ray Review
Night of the Animated Dead is an ill-conceived feature that just takes the classic and turns it into animated form with an additional scene from what I can remember. The animation itself isn’t the best but not awful while the voice acting was alright. That said, this is one to skip.

Blades Blu-ray Review
Blades I guess is a movie you need to be in the mood for, namely watching amongst friends. For me, I found the humor was a bit too dry and dragged on for my liking.
The Vigil Blu-ray Review
Kindred arrives on Blu-ray and DVD from Shout Factory on June 15th. This horror-thriller stars Tamara Lawrance, Jack Lowden and Fiona Shaw.
A Clockwork Orange 4K Ultra HD Review
A Clockwork Orange might be a classic and I can see some of its attributes with the style and acting from Malcolm McDowell, but for myself I found it difficult to sit through, mainly for a lack of interest in what was going on.

Alone in the Dark: Collector’s Edition Blu-ray Review
Alone in the Dark is a very entertaining slasher-horror-thriller that came out of the early 1980s that bucks the trend of having a bunch of teenagers being slaughtered by some faceless psycho, instead three scary individuals.

Inglourious Basterds 4K Ultra HD Review
Inglourious Basterds is a standout film amongst the other greats from Quentin Tarantino with sharp dialogue and incredible performances, especially from Chrisoph Waltz.

Death Screams Blu-ray Review
Death Screams is a film that some may find charming as a “regional” independent film, having been shot in North Carolina. For me, I thought a fair portion was rather dull with characters that failed to resonate.
